Grays Inn Creek Residence, Eastern Shore, MD

Project completed while at Studio Santalla, 2011

We were consulted to complete the interiors of this L-shaped flounder-house on Maryland's Eastern Shore, erected for a pair of retiring architects. As conceived by the homeowner, this Chesapeake Bay retreat integrates eastern principles and modernist styling within a traditional Mid-Atlantic context. Designed to provide an escape from the congestion of Washington, DC, its casual elegance is a juxtaposition to the refined and austere palette of their apartment at the historic Watergate Residences. The intended function of this home is clearly defined in its interior design. Modest private spaces defer to expansive open living areas. This home is intended to be opened to family and friends.
